Duvall is perfectly cast as a rural hermit who abruptly ends 40 years of seclusion to arrange a “living funeral” so he can hear what people might have to say about him while he’s still around.

Duvall’s Felix Bush is the local boogeyman around his late-1930s town, where boys sneak up and toss rocks through the windows of his isolated home and adults spread tall tales of supposed violence in the old man’s past.

It makes for a marvelous act of confession and redemption for Felix, with Duvall delivering a heartbreaking soliloquy loaded with moments that are the stuff of best-actor clips come Oscar night, where the actor could well be heading for this performance.

Duvall’s character is based on a Tennessee loner who became a local celebrity for holding a living funeral for himself in 1938. That’s a fun but straightforward piece of folklore, so to add Hollywood drama, screenwriters Chris Provenzano and C. Gaby Mitchell build a grim mystery into Felix’s past that touches on old flame Mattie Darrow (Spacek).

“Get Low,” a Sony Pictures Classics release, is rated PG-13 for some thematic material and brief violent content. Running time: 103 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Robert Duvall looks great as a grizzled old coot, while Bill Murray makes a mighty fine funeral director. Surround them with sharp old-timey details of the Depression-era boondocks and the roles fit them even better.

Yet it also feels vaguely like artifice, a literary feint to put a convenient beginning, middle and end on the story: First, Felix the incorrigible crackpot, then, Felix the mysterious but lovable curmudgeon,Frankie morello, finally, Felix the penitent.

It’s not a fatal flaw, just a nagging one. The drama simply wraps up a little too neatly given the ragged edges of Felix and the people he touches, including Cobbs as a preacher privy to the old man’s secrets.

For a filmmaker who has worked mostly in contemporary settings in television,Ed hardy Shoes, film, music videos and commercials, Schneider shows eyes and ears marvelously attuned to the past. The images glow with wistful nostalgia, while the rhythms of the dialogue and Jan A.P. Kaczmarek’s rootsy musical score immerse viewers in earlier times.

From “Two Soldiers,” a 1940s-era William Faulkner adaptation, to “Get Low” was a natural progression, both films set in the rural South and intricately recreating a backwoods folksiness with deep warmth and humor.

After Felix learns of an old friend’s death, four decades of ruminating alone over his dark secrets boil over. Felix heads to town looking to throw a funeral party where people can come and say whatever they like about him, his way to “get low” — or down to business — as he prepares himself for the true end of his life.

That’s the lowdown on “Get Low,” a very old-fashioned comic drama whose charm comes more from the characters, performances and rich period feel than from the story itself, which is inspired by real events but strains at the reins a bit in its fictionalized elements.

Alongside Oscar winners Duvall and Spacek, Murray shows again that he can get low with the best of them.

With terrific support from Murray, Sissy Spacek, Lucas Black and Bill Cobbs, “Get Low” marks a rosy feature-film debut by director Aaron Schneider, a veteran cinematographer whose 2003 tale, “Two Soldiers,” won an Academy Award as best live-action short film.

Murray occasionally lets some modern smarm slip through undertaker Frank’s demeanor as a glib 1930s huckster. You can let that slide, though, because Murray is so much fun to watch.

Down-on-his-luck undertaker Frank Quinn (Murray), amusingly lamenting how “people are dying in bunches everywhere but here,” jumps at the chance to stage Felix’s living funeral and assigns his goodhearted apprentice (Black) to help make arrangements with the ornery old gent.

The bullying boss or the request to fudge a test should lead the recruit to seek a better understanding of what is being asked and other opinions on whether this is indeed "how we do things around here." Maybe this is just how this rogue employee or manager does it. If the new employee is not convinced the request is reasonable and ethical, he or she needs to raise the issue with someone else until the new employee becomes convinced it is
legitimate, provokes the companty to intervene,Abercrombie t-shirts, or decides he joined a company with a weak ethical culture.

Recession or not, the unavoidable ethical dilemmas in any business career give our graduates ample and early opportunities to decide whether they will lead business careers of expediency or integrity. We hope we can convince them they serve the true interests of their companies, of society, and of themselves by confronting these ethical dilemmas directly and with exceptional courage.

Ethical>

One ethical dilemma faced by virtually every employee in his or her first months on the job is how to react to the workplace bully or the "belittling boss." There are people in even the best organizations that put down or pick on others. The bully's target may be the woman in a male-dominated team; the department's first African American; the Hispanic singled out as an "illegal." Some bullying bosses are equal-opportunity harassers. We try to help new employees stand up to such bullying behavior and "stand with" the person being harassed or bullied. But new employees fearful for their jobs will more often stay silent and go along with
the jokes at the expense of others. What long-term impact does this have on the recruit's willingness to tolerate intolerance?

Ethical dilemmas can also be more personal. Do I want to be a hedge fund mogul, a benevolent community banker, an inner-city teacher, a nurse,Inflatable Obstacles, a soldier defending my
country? Do I want to make a lot of money, or am I satisfied with a little? Is helping people an essential part of my life's work? In a recession, the desperate state of many service organizations or a graduate's need to pay back loans may close off some or all of his or her true vocational choices. Graduates are glad to get any job, and there is a real danger they may give up hope of ever finding work they find meaningful.

This year's college graduates enter a job market nearly as challenging as the one confronted by last June's class, and scarce jobs make ethical decisions even tougher. How will the latest crop of corporate recruits respond when the boss suggests that they manipulate sales numbers, when they encounter a racially biased work environment, or when they are instructed to lie to cover up a mistake?

Similarly, how do they balance work with life outside of work? Will they scrimp on family obligations while pursuing job success? Will they find any time at all for service in their work lives? Some graduates will conclude they have to work all the time to be sure they keep their jobs. In many organizations, we find that bosses load work on new employees until they object. In a recession, fewer new graduates will push back. Family life, artistic expression, and service may be squeezed out of their lives
now — and long after the recession ends.

In college ethics courses, we try to prepare our graduates for these unavoidable "moments of truth" by reminding them that it takes courage to act ethically. Those of us with experience in business tell students they might receive kudos and a pat on the back for behaving ethically, but acting ethically can also lead to ostracism or even getting fired for not being a team player. To resist "going along" in a time of recession takes an extra dose of courage. We hope this year's graduates get the message that compromising values now only makes it easier to compromise them later. And long term, a weak ethical character may be the greatest career risk of all.

Graduates, in a recessionary economy or not, must understand that ethical dilemmas and choices are an unavoidable part of one's work life. We urge students to investigate the culture of the company and the specific work group they may join. Their chances of living a life of integrity are greater in a business that genuinely strives to act ethically. But even in those that have good corporate cultures, ethical tests are rampant, particularly for the newly hired graduate.

New employees inevitably face ethical challenges. In fact, I find most graduates are quick to share stories about the first time they were asked to do something unethical — even in the most ethical companies. The boss may ask them to fudge a number on a report, or check a box and say a test was done when it was not. The new sales employee may be told we "always" exaggerate the capabilities of our product, or that it is normal to disguise alcoholic drinks and personal entertainment on expense reports so the company pays for them.

Because it has been
difficult this year to land any job, new graduates will be less likely to resist, less likely to put their new position at risk in order to do the right thing. And that threatens to undermine the ethical character of this year's graduates at the outset of their careers.
